New Table

We had a new table arrive this week. It is much smaller than the old one, so there is more space for me to run around in.

I found a much better use for one of the boxes!

Mummy & Daddy's night away!

Mummy & Daddy had their first night away last weekend. They went to the Christmas party of the new practice that Mummy will be working at from May. They stayed the night at the hotel where the party was.





Grandma came to stay and look after me - I was really good. I did wake up at 5am but went back to sleep until after 8am (not something I normally do)!!

Bath Time

Santa left me these great bath crayons in my stocking. Luckily they wash off the bath easily! I'm not so sure Daddy thinks it is a good idea to encourage me to start drawing on things other than paper!!

Cooking

Mummy and Dady gave me a kitchen for Christmas.

I have been cooking for everyone including Roxie!

Christmas (Part 2)

On Sunday we went to see Grandma, Grandad, Uncle Julian and Ali.

I had even more presents to open when we arrived. I think Grandma would have liked it if my hoover actually worked as it would have saved her doing some of the house work!

I also have a keyboard to go with my collection of musical instruments. I have already decided that the only way to play it is with the volume at full blast!

Great Grandad came from the farm to visit and as it was cold I made him a nice cup of tea to warm him up.

Uncle Julian & Ali had their little dog with them that was fun to chase when I got the chance. It made a difference for me to be bigger than a doggie for a change!

On Monday Grandad played with Uncle Julian's old train set...

and I made Grandma do some dancing with me.

Christmas (Part1)

On Christmas Eve Grandma took me to Daddy's office after we had picked up Uncle Julian & Ali from rhe train station. I had a great time in the office meeting everyone and throwing and chasing the ball someone found for me to play with. After lunch Daddy drove up to Leeds and Mummy arrived later in the afternoon once she had finished work.

Mummy had cooked steak pie for everyone on Christmas Eve, but as all the adults were eating after I had gone to bed I did some quality control at tea time!

When I woke up on Christmas Day, Santa had been and left me some presents in my stocking. I sat in bed with Mummy & Daddy to open them. We had to wait until after lunch to open all my other presents - Auntie Jane had been at work on Christmas Eve and was asleep in the morning

I had lots of presents to open ...

with a bit of help from Mummy...

although I was still going on Boxing Day as everytime I opened one I wanted to play with it straight away!!

We all had Christmas dinner together (including Roxie who pinched some of the red cabbage when she thought no one was looking!!)

I even had a Thomas the Tank Engine cracker to pull.

After dinner Ed watched In the Night Garden with me (although I'm not sure he really understood it!)...

and Great Uncle Trevor then told me all about the engines on my Thomas DVD.

Granny & Grandpa played with me before they left for the train on Saturday.

Great Granny had found some of Grandpa's & Great Uncle Nick's cars from when they were little for me to play with. After they had left we all went for a long walk (well I went in the backpack!).

I spent most of the afternoon making tea for everyone...

before I helped Auntie Jane cook the dinner!
